Circa 1889 ANTIQUE 42 Star American Parade Flag Folk Art

Circa 1889 42-star Parade Flag. Although a forty-two star flag would have indeed been appropriate beginning on November 11, 1889, Idaho entered into the. Union on July 3, 1890. This event, therefore, made forty-two star flags obsolete and, having not passed July 4, 1890, was never adopted as an official banner of the United States. Great piece of American history! Collect and decorate with American History! Professionally mounted in a vintage gild frame with museum non-reflective glass and acid-free black foam board backing. Frame measures appox 5.5" X 7.5". Please see my other auctions for more great pieces of early Americana & folk art.
